Box Score

RADNOR, Pa. – The Cabrini men's basketball came to an end tonight, as the No. 4 Cavaliers fell to No. 22 Richard Stockton College 85-76 at Nerney Field House in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament.   The Blue and White closed the season 26-2, second most wins in a season in program history.

The loss closes the careers of seniors Corey Frizzera, Jon Miller, A.J. Picard, Fran Rafferty and Vernon Robinson.  While Picard and Robinson joined the team prior to this season, Frizzera, Miller and Rafferty are the winningest seniors in the history of the program, boasting 106 victories, including three appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 and a trip to the 2012 NCAA National Championship game.  

Rafferty closes his career with 1,403 career points, number four of the program's all-time scoring list, while his 559 career rebounds rank 12th.  Miller recorded 69 career blocked shots, good for eighth on the all-time list.

The Ospreys showed no fear in the early minutes as they scored the game's first six points.  The teams battled back and forth through the first half, with Stockton maintaining a slim lead.  Junior Aaron Walton-Moss found freshman Brennan McCann for a three pointer with 4:58 left it the half, capping a 7-0 spurt and giving Cabrini a 34-29 lead.

Stockton responded with a 7-0 run of its own to regain the lead.  Both teams exchanged buckets to close the half with the score tied at 41.

The teams continued to play evenly through much of a second half that saw six ties and three lead changes.  Cabrini led by as many as three points and never trailed by more than four points through the first 15 minutes of the stanza.  The game's final tie came at 58-58 with 7:25 to play, just before the Ospreys used another 7-0 spurt.

The Cavaliers got within three but could never get the big bucket to put it over the hump, as Stockton connected on 12-16 in the final 2:32 to ice the game.

Walton-Moss led the Cavaliers with 25 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists, while junior Vinny Walls added 21 points and four steals.  

The Blue and White shot just 27.3% from three point range, the club's lowest percentage of the season.

Junior Josh Blamon led Stockton (25-4) with 31 points and nine rebounds, while senior Kevin Johnson added 15 points, eight rebound and five steals. The Ospreys will face Morrisville State in Friday's Sweet 16 round.
